Project Summary: The UCSF Biomedical Sciences (BMS) training program provides interdisciplinary training to equip diverse students with the scientific and intellectual skills needed to rigorously address important problems in the biomedical sciences with increasing self-efficacy and self-direction, and the adaptability and professional skills needed to continue making contributions in their subsequent careers in the biomedical science workforce. The BMS program’s goals are closely aligned with those of the NIGMS Molecular Medicine program area. The program is unique among UCSF training programs, and addresses a national need for rigorous training of scientists who are motivated and able to apply basic and translational research approaches to dissect the mechanistic underpinnings of human disease, from molecules and single cells to tissue and organ systems. Students emerge from the training program with reinforced scientific identity, a record of scientific achievement, and opportunities to productively contribute to the biomedical scientific enterprise that accord with their own interests and values. We pursue these goals through a combination of coursework, mentored research, and other structured training activities. The BMS curriculum provides a fundamental foundation in cellular and molecular biology, genetics and tissue and organ biology, and integrates understanding of human disease states throughout. It provides opportunities for deep exposure to focus areas through small group discussion- style minicourses, and includes a translational science course that incorporates discussion with clinicians and patients. Workshops teach students to rigorously apply emerging technologies, biostatistics, and computational approaches in research. Skills development in evaluating, proposing and communicating research is also threaded through the first year curriculum and reinforced by laboratory training and mentorship. Career exploration and professional development is emphasized from the beginning of the student experience and supported by robust program and institutional resources, optional internships, and professional mentorship from program faculty, all of whom are required to participate in a Thesis Mentor Development training program. Selection for appointment to the training program is conducted through an application process at the beginning of students’ second year of training. Students may also apply for new or continued support at the beginning of their third year in the program. We anticipate supporting 12 trainees annually from the large pool of eligible students in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program, which aims to enroll 25 new entrants each year. Intended program outcomes include degree completion in 5-6 years, generation and communication of a body of rigorous and impactful biomedical research, and successful transition to research-related careers in the biomedical workforce. We endeavor to provide an inclusive learning and mentoring atmosphere so that we can uphold the same high standards for program outcomes for all students, including those from underrepresented backgrounds, students with disability, and students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.

项目概要： UCSF 生物医学科学 (BMS) 培训计划提供跨学科培训，以装备不同的人员 具有严格解决重要问题所需的科学和智力技能的学生 生物医学科学，提高自我效能和自我导向，以及适应性和专业技能 需要在生物医学科学工作者的后续职业生涯中继续做出贡献。 BMS 项目的目标与 NIGMS 分子医学项目领域的目标密切相关。 该计划在 UCSF 培训计划中是独一无二的，满足了国家对严格培训的需求 有动力并能够应用基础研究和转化研究方法来剖析 人类疾病的机制基础，从分子和单细胞到组织和器官系统。 学生从培训计划中脱颖而出，获得了强化的科学认同、科学成就记录、 以及为符合自己的生物医学科学事业做出富有成效的贡献的机会 我们通过结合课程作业、指导研究和价值观来追求这些目标。 BMS 课程为细胞和其他结构化培训活动奠定了基础。 分子生物学、遗传学以及组织和器官生物学，并整合对人类疾病的理解 它提供了通过小组讨论深入了解重点领域的机会 - 风格的迷你课程，包括转化科学课程，其中包含与和 研讨会教导学生严格应用新兴技术、生物统计学和计算。 评估、提出和交流研究的技能发展也是如此。 贯穿第一年的课程，并通过实验室培训和职业指导得到加强。 从学生体验一开始就强调探索和专业发展 得到强大的项目和机构资源、可选实习和专业指导的支持 来自教师计划，所有这些人都必须参加论文导师发展培训计划。 培训计划的任命选择是通过一开始的申请流程进行的 学生第二年的培训也可以在开始时申请新的或持续的支持。 我们预计每年都会从大量符合资格的学员中支持 12 名学员。 生物医学科学研究生项目的学生，该项目的目标是每年招收 25 名新学生。 预期的项目成果包括在 5-6 年内完成学位、形成和交流一个机构 严格且有影响力的生物医学研究，并成功过渡到与研究相关的职业 我们努力提供包容性的学习和指导氛围，以便我们能够 为所有学生（包括来自代表性不足的学生）坚持同样高的项目成果标准 背景、残疾学生和来自社会经济弱势背景的学生。
